Which Filofax organisers are fitted with Krause style rings? Ones that can removed and replaced?
This question came up recently. I'm not aware of a listing of which models have Krause style rings. Therefore I think we should create one.
I will add a further qualification to the question though, whilst some of the recent models such as the Classic Croc have non-riveted ring mechanisms they instead use the PXR style mechanism which are very securely mounted on the backing plate. This makes them difficult to remove and also to replace them because finding replacements is not easy, unless you know different.
To create this list we need your help. Please comment below with the name of the model and the approximate year and include if the ring mechanism is riveted in or it has a plain top cover which would suggest a Krause style mechanism is used.
To get us started here are some popular models:
- Malden - Riveted
- Finsbury - Riveted
- Winchester - Krause Style
- Chameleon - Riveted
- Domino - Riveted through the spine
- Fusion - Riveted
- Belmont - Krause Style
- Holborn - Riveted
- Sandhurst - Krause Style
- Cavendish - Krause Style
- Kensington - Krause Style
- Eton - Krause Style
- Cuban - Riveted
- York - Krause Style
There are other types of fixing to consider too. In particular, Pocket Slim, Personal Slim, Slimline etc. have a tag fitting that enables the (non-Krause) mechanism to be removed. It’s not something to be done more than once of twice though, as the tags break.

I am sure there are plenty more that don't spring to mind.

bridle: Krause Style
ReplyDeleteAlan here: The second use of the Buckingham name, as opposed to the first use in the Winchester Era, were all riveted.

ReplyDeleteHamilton Personal, ca. 2000
Classic Croc Pocket, ca. 2020
Chester Personal, 2022
all have Krause Style
I have a Buckingham 2MLF 7/8 Personal that has a plain cover on the rings (other than the script f at the midway point). No QC code. Mid-80's? The rings feel high-quality.
ReplyDeleteLockwood A5 Zip, not riveted.
ReplyDeleteMine is, but it was an early one
